Prospecting for Cement,

Prospecting for Cement.-A
company of BatimoreanS and gentle
men OF this county have effected tenn
porary organization with view of de-
veloping vein of cement on the farm
of William NJ. Blackford, about two and
half miles south of Sharpsburg. The
deposit lies along the Potomac river at
Reynolds dam and Immediately oppo-
site the West Virginia bank that has
long been operated successfully.
There appears to be no question as to
the presence of cement rock there in
large quantities and, it is believed, of
fine quality. In order TO test this fact
thoroughly before permanent organi-
cation of the company is made and stock
subscribed, sufficient money has been
advanced for prospecting. AS soon it
shall have been determined to the sat-
isfaction of the projectors that cement
rock of good quality and in paying
quantities exists in this locality there
will be no difficulty in securing ample
stock to erect a large mill and to manu-
facture cement upon large scale.-Ha-
gerSto,cn Herald.
Work on the kilus for the new mil
has already been commenced and is be-
ing pushed forward rapidly. We un-
derstand that large mill building will
be put up, with six runs of buhrs, about
three times the capacity of the Potomac
be run by steam, and will be provided
with all the modern improvements for
making cement. a large number of
hands will be employed when operations
are fully under way

what Has Been Done In Richmond-How
to Run q Newspaper.

to Run q Newspaper.
While the past week has not been noted
for ANYTHING specially thrilling or sensa-
tional. there has been no dearth OF local
news. There have been items musical
and dramatic, social and criminal serious
and comic. There have been sudden
deaths, marrying and giving in marriage:
Old and well-known citizens have passed
away. sad cases of drowning, and myste
rious disappearance have occurred; The
citv's heart has been stirred to its depths
by intense religious feeling, benevolent
orders and military companies have met,
and so on through the interminable list
of events that go to make life in great
city
All of these events have not alone been
chronicled in the TIMES, but our enter
prizing and esteemed contemporaries
have filled their columns with the descrjp-
ton of all Of these and of other local
matters too numerous to mention.
And vet the complaint is often heard,
"There is nothing in the papers, or the
same items occur in all the papers.
Strange as it may appear, the man who
has failed at every other undertaking,
generally imagines that he knows all
about running newspaper AS Tor local
reporting, probably every other man you
meet is sure to think that as a reporter
he would be, if given chance, much
greater success than any one now con
nected with the city stalls OF the Rich
mond dailies.
The Washington star, the Baltimore
Sur, and the Philadelphia Ledger are con-
sidered model newspapers not alone In
the cities of publication, but all over the
length and breadth of this great land.
Let these captious censors and smart
critics read and compare these papers
and they will see that the Richmond
dailies publish more local news than any
one of them, and that, remember in cities
with twice, yea, and ten times the
population of this city. Is it to be sup
posed that there is enough matter IN a
CITY of the size of Richmond for every
paper to contain entirely different
local matter? The fact is that the
people have had too much city
news and have begun to neglect all the
other departments. They seem to care
but little for foreign or domestic news,
but wish every little home item strung
out into a column, with the names OF
everybody published in full. Items that
in other cities would be dismissed with
three lines must in Richmond be given
half a column. Nowhere do the local
reporters work more faithfully than in
Richmond and it is a cold day when any
event of actual Importance is missed.
But it is neither a New York or a Lon
don, and consequently as much should
not be expected of the TIMES and the
other papers as you expect of the Herdtd
or of our great London namesake.

reduced.-New York Sun.

BALTIMORE, February 19.-The sam.
ME merchant, Fl. Kstz, who had rendered
coupons for his license tax and had
afterwards been arrested for doing pusi-
ness without license, was to-day brought
before Hon. II. l.. Bond at this place by
Sergeant J. G.. Smith, in obedience TO a
writ of habeas corpus which Judge BOND
awarded on the nth instant Messrs.
RovalI and Sands represented katz,
and Wvndham r. Meredith the state
When the case had been fully heard'
the Judge said there was no Inference
between il and the other cases when ne
had decided. and that he should order the
prisoners discharge. He then said TO
Meredith that he hoped he would not De
ANNOYED with having more OF THESE cases
brought before him-for him to discharge
persons whom he had already decided
were not liable TO arrest. Inc Judge
then signed the order discharglng the
prisoner from custody.
Counsel for petitioner asked for costs.
Pending the discussion and consideration
of this motion, Mr. Meredith said that no
more arrests would be made, and the
matter was allowed to be dropped.
The Richmond city sergeant left Tor
home alone and without any prisoner, ana
il is generally understood that Policemen
Lanpkin and Enright will get no in
formers money; but as all hands boast
that all costs and expenses, including
champagne, are paid by the Indemnity
Board, they thought the act does not au-
thorize it. The worthy policemen more
naturally expect that their well-earned
fee for information will be paid by the
Board out of the State Treasury.

who can feel for Others woes will be glad
to know that the condition of the unfor-

and that they have been committed to

There is a great deal Of complaint by
citizens in regard to the ordinance re-
curing permission from the City Engi-
neer to trim trees in front of their
premises. They take the ground that as
tie trees are their private property and
are put there at their own individual eX-
pense, that the city has no right to med
die in the matter.
This is patially correct, but the motive
o. the ordinance is not to impose a
hardship upon the owners of the property
but to protect the trees from ruthless
hands, thereby enhancing their value.

mixed the stain in boiled linSeed oil and
wiped the work off with large rags These

inches lin diameter and threw them on the
floor at the rear end Of the store. Fortu-
nately stopped to do some writing, for at
the end n half an hour began osmell burn
ing paint hunted for the cause out doors

bling over the rags, the ball broke open and

pertinent over again, and in three-quarters OF

Special Council Meeting.

There will be a special meeting of the
Common Council tomorrow night at Z
o'clock. Among other questions which
will be considered are the annexation Of
Manchester, the police telephone and
telegraph signal service, the extension of
the Richmond and Danville railroad
track on Dock and Water streets, and
the increase of the police force.
Unless business is transacted more
speedily than at the previous meetings
this month, there is great probability
that there will have to be another called
meeting this month.
